106.5 The Coyote off the air

R

radiolives

Whats wrong with 106.5 The Coyote? That sure isn't good for the new country station as most people who like country all have it on Gator 107.9 or Eagle 92.9.
 
How do you think I feel!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are painting our $^%&#*^%$^%%%$^ tower in the middle of the day and yes on my shift
 
Since they are painting the tower during your shift....could you make an announcement telling people why you are off the air? ;D
 
What stand on the front porch and yell it?
But we are back to full power now!!!! THANK GOD

I feel your pain. I worked for a station that, "due to high winds and dust storms", the tower would shut off everyday at 5pm for about a half hour (generator or some bs) during the book to boot! didnt happen anytime except for during the book. I was told by the mgmt that it was just one of those weird things that happens. Only at 5pm. Only M-F. I guess mother nature takes the weekend off..

i still came up #1 in 5 key demos. but that ---- was still aggravating as a ****. hang in there buddy!!!
 
My jaw dropped when they said your gonna be off because of tower painting....lol
 
Sounds like Cumulus normal s.o.p. Does anyone on this board know what happened to former K-Country pd Rick Roberts?

Thanks.

and oldies are not stale crapola that has been played since the beginning of time?

im tired of music from the 90s, cant imagine having to hear it for another 40 years.
 
The reason your hearing 90's stuff has alot to do with the fact that today's country music if you can call it that kinda sucks plain and simple. It is a mixture of country/rock or country/pop or country/rap ect, ect, ect... Now some people will defend it saying times have changed and this that and the other but I have been in country music all my life and I will tell you I enjoyed the country music change as it progressed thru the years up and until about the last 6 or 7 years ago when it lost it's rythum, it's feeling, and it's country sound. I have recorded in Nashville and have preformed there many times but have refused to move there and or take a job in recording studios simply because I can not stand what they are doing to country music now. I was born in east Tennessee in the mountains and belive me when a good country music song came on the radio you felt it not just heard it and that's just not happening much anymore. Sorry if I am a little off subject I will shut up now.

Actually this is my bad! Im not in the area to hear coyote, I was just generalizing based on the comment someone made of 'stale crapola' and then stating 'play oldies!' as if oldies arent stale...

Def not taking a jab at Coyote!

I reserve my punches for s#itty Alt Rockers...and oldies. lol ;)
 
I want to ask people's opinions. I was the one that renamed the Wikipedia article on WSYN to WLFF, thinking the format change on WSYN was going to be drastic. I renamed the WYAK article WSYN. When someone wrote about the old Sunny 106.5 in the WSYN article, I moved the contribution to the correct article, making sure to credit the person who contributed.

Now, I'm thinking all the Sunny 106.5 information needs to be in the WSYN article, since the station is still oldies even if it is satellite, which means moving new information about WSYN to the WLFF article, renaming that WSYN, and moving the WLFF information to the former WYAK article, and renaming that article WLFF, as if WYAK became The Coyote. Which I guess it did.

I invite comments on this possible move on the talk pages of the current WSYN and WLFF articles. That way those who might question the move can see the comments.

Or you can comment here and I can tell people you did.
 
I would leave the history for each frequency....leave the history of 106.5 before the switch, add it was oldies then moved, then current history. Leave the history of 103.1 before the switch, add the oldies format moved there, etc. That's how I did WLXC and WOMG in Columbia, which swapped frequencies.

That looks like how you've done it -- looks good to me.

The problem is that someone added information about the old Sunny to the WSYN article. I had to move it to the correct place.
I once thought as you did, but WAZO and WSFM in Wilmington have been done the other way.

Edit: Oops. I looked through the histories of the articles to see who switched the histories and it was me. It was after seeing one person's contributions to the WSFM article, which referred to something that happened before the frequency switch.

Anyway, if only the frequencies changed, it seems more logfical to do it that way. For WSYN, it seems logical to keep the history with the call letters.

There's not really any other logic for WLFF except that an article on just WYAK would leave WLFF's article with too little information.

I looked at the WOMG and WLXC articles and I'm thinking it makes more sense to have the histoy go with the call letters, not the frequency.
 
I think a frequency swap is just that a frequency swap, or change. The important thing is the station information and history. It is nice to have a frequency chart telling frequency history thou.

Well, I asked for advice, and was told a simple frequency change does not mean a new article.

I just signed in at Wikipedia and the requested moves for WSYN and WLFF have been done. Now I just have to relocate the information. Which is kind of a paqin since I have to attribute all additions to someone.

I'm going to fix WOMG and WLXC as well.
